Tony Parker-Having rings should be a serious consideration at this point in the list. Lots of players can put up stats and win awards, but doing this and winning championships is the equation we should be looking for at this point.

True but what about guys like Bob Dandridge, Jamaal Wilkes, Jim Pollard, Jo Jo White, Cliff Hagan, Tom Heinsohn, Maurice Lucas or Slater Martin (others too I'm sure) who have accomplished as much and won as much as Parker. Along with Gasol, I feel all these players have very similar careeer resumes.

Also guys like Ben Wallace, Mel Daniels, Joe Fulks and Bob Davies have more impressive resumes and won titles as their teams bets player, something Parker has never done. They all should be above Parker IMO.

Any thoughts?

That is a good point you raise, Parker did win Finals MVP in 2007, that's good enough for me to think of him as the team's best player that year, I feel like no matter what, this list will be skewed towards the modern era, and I feel like Parker is underrated due to his French background and his playing for a small market team. But yeah, Bob Dandridge, Jamaal Wilkes, Jim Pollard, Jo Jo White, Cliff Hagan, Tom Heinsohn, Maurice Lucas or Slater Martin do
deserve the next spot too. Absoulutely no question. I'm just voting for the hell of it, to see what happens.

Won a title as a team's best player, insanely clutch, huge impact (Sonics were contenders with him, he sits out a year in a contract dispute and they turn into one of the worst teams in the league, he returns and they contend again). Basically Parker on steroids
